The Glare Kindle Edition

Trust no one. That's Jenna's motto.


And it serves her well, even before a strange light blinds nearly everyone on Earth and causes the glare.


Not that she minds the apocalypse. Why should she? It's the best thing that's ever happened to her. No more secrets. No more lies, and there's plenty of food, just waiting for her to take it.


Best of all, she doesn't have to worry about who to trust anymore. Because almost everyone is dead. Or dying.


But there are other dangers in the new world: vicious coyotes, legions of rats, and something worse. Much worse.


Someone's out there. Someone else who can see in the glare.


Someone she has reason to distrust...and fear.


And he knows she's all alone...


Grab your sunglasses and get the first book in the thrilling Glare Series now, because the apocalypse won't wait!

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

I hope you enjoy THE GLARE! Don't forget, the entire series is complete...although I'm currently working on a book that takes place many generations in the future! 
I'm often asked which book in the series is my favorite, and it's so hard to pick. Even with all her flaws, I love Jenna, and it was so much fun watching her grow as the series progressed. That being said, I have a soft spot in my heart for Before the Glare,which is a collection of short stories about the people you'll meet in the series. It's SO worth reading--you might think you know all the characters (good AND bad), but remember: You only learn about them through Jenna's eyes. Before the Glare gives you a far different view of the people she'll meet...and you might just find yourself empathizing with a bad guy or crying about a character you only know by name. You'll want to read Before the Glare AFTER you finish the series. You can read it before OR after Since the Glare: Susan's Journal, but I generally recommend after!

A fantastic new take on an apocalyptic world
From the very first page I was hooked. This is one of those books that you want to read as fast as you can so you will find out what happens next; but you also want to read slowly and savor each and every page. I could recap the book for you, but I would not do it the justice it deserves. The storyline is fascinating and the characters are so likable, you want Jenna’s little family to survive it all. I am anxious to start book two to see what happens next! This is a must read for anyone wishing to get lost in another world! Thanks for the great read!

A very interesting scenario that that seems entirely possible. Well written and quite enjoyable. The characters are well fleshed and easy to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Double Whammy!

Wow! A simply stunning tale told in the voice of a thirteen-year-old girl who survives her own personal apocalypse and then a worldwide one when a light wavelength of a spectrum most human eyes cannot adjust to hits the planet with a blinding glare. This story is one you just can't put down! At times what this poor girl -- who is one of the few left on the planet who CAN see due to some sort of gene mutation -- has to go through is all at once incredible and completely believable. Once again, Anissa's ability to put the reader right into the heart of the story makes it extremely compelling. And her use of foreshadowing (the $100 bookmark, etc.) were pure strokes of genius that kept me wondering what exactly was to come. The only thing I was disappointed in was the ending, because it felt like the story wasn't nearly finished. But then I saw in About the Author that she's working on a sequel. I'll be snatching that up as soon as it comes out, of that you can be sure!
I also want to add that, although this is a book that's clearly intended for young adults, grownup readers will love it, too. I did! Shari Broyer, Author  Ether Man

If you like apocalypse stories, you'll love this one! It's not about zombies, EMP strikes, war or global warming. It's about a wavelength on the light spectrum that blinds all but a few.
I definitely recommend this book!

This was a good book. Whilst it has some darker themes they are dealt with in a way thats not overly scary, making this readable for a mature younger audience.
The characters are well developed, the scenario is unique and the relationships are complex.
Cant wait to read the next instalment in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Glare is a good post apocalypse tale.

I liked this book. It has a unique take on an civilization destroying apocalypse. The main character is a youth who is no longer truly a child even before the catyclsm that ends society. She is tough and resilient, but still in need of growth and maturation. She gains some of both. The book "ends" on a hopeful, upbeat note but it is in NO way a "Pollyanna - ish" view of the new realities of this world. I look forward to reading the other subsequent books in this series. I recommend this book.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first opened the book. Anticipating a typical post-apocalyptic teenage angst type of book, I was surprised by the twists and turns this story took. First, it is set in a realistic locale that I could easily picture. Then, the characters are true-to-life and well-developed, with the strengths and flaws. Finally, there is a unique take on the "end of the world" catastrophe. I was thoroughly engaged throughout. It was fast-paced and eery. Be warned, it's one of those books that when you start reading it, you have to finish it, if only to stave off the goosebumps of not knowing what's next. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series to find out what happens to these characters.

A really well written book, that is a cut above the usual virus zombies type books, this has a possible scientific reason for most people going blind outside, the main character is a 13 year old girl, who grows into her role as the leader. Full of great detail a riveting story, onto the next in the series.
